The latter is done in trunk revision 117621.  If you suspect a weird
issue with timers, re-run with EMACS_IGNORE_TIMERFD environment
variable set (and report your problems, of course).

Emacs' input reading is very complicated, and asynchronous signals
complicates it even more.  With timerfd and its counterpart signalfd,
it's (in theory) possible to build a completely synchronous event
loop and (hopefully) simplify a lot of things.  Unfortunately this
is GNU/Linux-specific.
